A valuable Pagani Zonda supercar has been crashed for the second time in the UK. The car was being driven back from its annual MOT test by the bodyguard of the current owner. However the driver lost control of the high-performance vehicle and crashed it into a fence. In court the driver explained that he had been shifting his seat for better comfort, when his foot slipped onto the accelerator pedal. However this account differed from his original statement to the police in which he claimed he had swerved to avoid another vehicle. When CCTV evidence showed his initial claim to be untrue the man changed his story. He was fined for driving without due care and attention and for not having suitable insurance cover. The same car had been in a previous crash in 2009 when being driven by a famous racing driver, although the person’s identity has never been revealed. Following repairs it was later bought by its present owner, who will now have to pay for further repairs.
